OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Joemailman]

63% completion percentage, 3,897 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and 90.5 rating.

Those aren’t bad stats considering how shitty their season was. I’d be curious to see how he does in Pittsburgh. Super Bowl rematch with the Packers?

28th in QBR, 22nd in passer rating, 28th in yards per attempt, 34th in completion pct., even his INT's was just average, 13th in TD pct. And Adams and Garrett Wilson are one of the better WR duos. It is past time.

I hope AR just retires. I like both the man and the player but it’s almost always better to leave a party early than late.

Too late for that. Retiring before the huge deal he signed with the Packers would have been the right time. He hasn't been good since.

[woodbuck27]

Hahahaa, exactly.

[woodbuck27]

The Package ' Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams ' !?

[woodbuck27]

Yup.

[woodbuck27]

Hawk, Cobb, Rodges, Graham, Eric Bahktiari(?), ?, Davante, Lazard, Flynn, Bulaga
? and David Bahktiari squatting

(I could be wrong)

It's offseason, slow news cycle

Good eyes.

Tomlin has a history of tolerating guys like Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell. Rodgers is a fricking boy scout by comparison.

Would be interesting to see Tomlin and Rodgers interact. Don’t see Tomlin as the type to get pushed around.

[MadtownPacker]

Will be interesting to see if he's washed. If he is truly physically done, then there's nothing he can do, but if he gets his mojo back physically I can see where he goes _off_ this year like Brady on the Bucs.

The end of Rodgers's career is getting sadder and sadder. Next thing you know he's trying out for the USFL.

You can see I'm not keeping up with the NFL much any more. I thought they had Rumple Stiltskin (Russell Wilson) and, what, Justin Fields or some other former first rounder who didn't work out?

So yes, go to Pittsburgh, Aaron.

They do still have Wilson, but a lot of people think he's on the way out.

[Fritz]

They need a QB. They're not in a position to draft one. People have said Rodgers and Tomlin have a good relationship. They're good enough that Rodgers will think he can get them over the top.

Betting sites have the Steelers as the favorite landing spot for Rodgers at +200.
FWIW, teams like LV (who have Joe Philbin on staff) and TEN are also considered in the running. Even MIN lol.

If I were the GM or HC I wouldn't want an aging loose cannon who is polarizing and skips practices as the "face of the franchise QB". I especially wouldn't want that in the NYC media market.

GB comes out of that trade looking ok. What they got in draft picks hasn't turned out, so not great there, but getting rid of the toxicity and bad contract isn't nothing.

Actually, I think the return they got looks pretty good. Especially if LVN can turn it around. Monk could be a factor in the near future too.

With the 2024 NFL Draft now in the books, the Packers have now finally acquired every player they're going to get from the Rodgers trade. So how did things shake out for Green Bay? Let's check it out.

2023 first-round pick (13th overall): LB Lukas Van Ness. The Packers ended up using this pick on Van Ness, who saw action in all 17 games during his rookie season. Although he wasn't a starter, he did manage to rack up four sacks, which was the fifth-highest total on the team.

2023 second-round pick (42nd): TE Luke Musgrave. The tight end missed six games due to a lacerated kidney, but when he was on the field in 2023, he was a pretty solid weapon for the Packers. In his 11 games of action, he caught 34 passes for 352 yards and a touchdown. Those numbers translate to 52.5 catches for 544 yards over a 17-game season.

2023 sixth-round pick (207th): K Anders Carlson. The rookie kicker got off to a strong start in 2023 by hitting nine of his first 10 field goals, but he fell apart after that. Carlson missed at least one kick -- field goal or extra point -- in six of Green Bay's final seven games and he's now on thin ice heading into 2024. Due to his struggles, the Packers brought in some stiff competition for him this year in the form of Greg Joseph, which means Carlson could be out of a job after just one season.

2024 second-round pick (45th): Edgerrin Cooper. The Packers ended up trading back from 41st overall to 45th overall in a deal with the Saints that also gave Green Bay the 168th and 190th overall picks. With the 45th pick, they selected linebacker Edgerrin Cooper out of Texas A&M. We gave that pick a 'B+' in our annual draft grades.
Added pick (168th). OL Jacob Monk. CBSSports.com draft guru Chris Trapasso absolutely loved this pick for the Packers. Trapasso gave it an 'A-' and here's why: "Hyper-experienced, legitimately versatile blocker who probably plays center or guard at the next level. Athleticism and acceleration off the snap instantly stand out," Trapasso wrote. "Classic Packers pick. He'll be a useful depth option for a while."

Added pick (190th): S Evan Williams. OK, so this is where things get a little confusing. The Packers took the 190th overall pick and packaged it with the 126th overall pick (which wasn't part of the Rodgers trade) to make a trade for the 111th overall pick. The Packers then used that selection on safety Evan Wiliams out of Oregon. That pick earned a 'B-' in our draft day grades.
So there you have it, the trade is now complete. One year after getting rid of Rodgers, the Packers now have their full return from the trade in place. Overall, they ended up with six players and two of them have already become solid role players. If at least two of the three players taken in 2024 end up becoming key contributors, then the Packers will be able to look back and say they won the trade. Of course, they'll also be able to say that if Jordan Love ends up being a superstar and he took the first step toward making that happen in 2023.
